Here is Charles Krauthammer’s latest collection of statistics proving that President Obama is a liar and that The Republican Party is the Party of Political/Economic virtue. Should any reader of this bold, even impudent, political essay be at all impressed about the statistical data that he so glibly fashions into an indictment of the fiscal sincerity, indeed the fiscal probity of a New Democrat, who surrenders before the battle begins? This President is not Franklin Roosevelt but rather Bill Clinton: a leader who has taken the Gospel of Markets and the political ascendancy of Wall Street as a necessity over the welfare of The Republic, The People. The New Democrat has willfully forgotten the New Deal as excess baggage, while the manufacture of a happy nostalgia for that time yields votes, simply put. All this is but the New Democratic party line on the way to power, for power is all there really is, heavily garnished with a re-manufactured New Deal: expressing the demands of a new time and place and the new realities of global corporatism.
